BEN HOGAN'S "POWER GOLF”
27.-Develop Your Concentration
While I am practising I am also trying to develop my powers of concentration. I never just walk up and hit the ball. I decide in advance how I want to hit it and where I want it to go.
Try to shut out everything around you. Develop your ability to think only of how and where you want to hit the shot you are playing. If something disturbs my concentration while I am lining up a shot I start all over again.
An ability to concentrate for long periods of timb while exposed to all sorts of distractions is invaluable in golf. Adopt the habit of concentrating to the exclusion of everything else, while you are on the practice tee and you will find that, you are automatically following the same routine while playing a round in competition.
